[IC] Chapter 1-4: Cellars of Hate

[DM Surranó]

The door seems to budge but the resistance of water six feet deep on either side of the door makes it particularly difficult to pry it open. Giant lends a helping hand and with mighty effort the two open the door.

Beyond the door are a few stairs leading up to the same level as the rest of the cellar, followed by a dark and narrow corridor, about 3 feet wide and 15 feet long, closed by a vertical wall of cold iron.
The iron wall features some kind of relief that resembles runes.
There is a passage halfway to the right, a few more steps eventually raising above water level with another iron door being atop the stairs, nice and dry.

OOC - will create a new map on Roll20 and post a picture of the relief later. For now, here's some ascii art...
